Sound import to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and need rendering!!!

Anyone know why an aif sound file from Pro Tools imported to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and needs rendering? It is like FCP is converting it to another freq. when it is 48k already! I do this all the time with NTSC and 23.98 projects, what is up with the 25 frame seq.??
Thanks, Mark

Resample in Soundtrack Pro or convert in QuickTime Player.
Your location says you are in LA. Why are you working in in PAL?
I know that things need to be at 48K this would not matter anyway if it was 44.1 FCP would do the conversion and not make it out of sync in an NTSC Timeline, but a PAL timeline FCP screws with the sound file. The files came from pro Tools, the industry standard should mixing.
I put them through Sound Track Pro and it did not help.

AIFF's imported are always out of sync and need to be rendered!!!!!

I have had this problem for years, has anyone figured out hoe to get sound files that are in sync in pro Tools and in Sound Track Pro to be in sync in FCP??
This is the strangest thing that you can not import files into a PAL session without a red line needing to be rendered and without the audio drifting!!
Any ideas? Thanks, mark

Audio Almost Always Out of Sync

I use FCE HD and I always import my mini-dv footage using the 'capture now' option.
The audio is almost always out of sync by being 15 to 25 frames ahead of the video!@#$%
The footage is always shot in 16-bit thus I use the DV NTSC 48 kHz setting which should be correct.
Can anyone shed some light on this frustrating situation?

Merçi à Michel et Tom pour vos répliques.
My camera always has the same settings (16/48 kHz) and I capture accordingly. Tom, I will try your suggestion shortly and update this topic.
Thanks again to Michel and Tom for your help.

Imported MJPEG from Game Capture Software Suddenly Out of Sync

First, I should point out that I am new to Adobe products. I'm entirely self-taught with Premiere, and I know there are a lot of things that I don't fully understand yet. However, my methods were working fine until a couple weeks ago. Furthermore, I searched through the forums and couldn't find any issues quite like mine. A few were similar, but none helped with my issue. I'm sorry if there is something really simple that I'm overlooking here, but I would greatly appreciate any help.
For quite a few months I used PlayClaw 5 to capture video game content and then import it to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 to edit it and piece together gaming compilations. It worked without a hitch until about two weeks ago when the audio in the imported file stopped syncing correctly with the video. I'm not doing anything different that I know of, although PlayClaw 5 did have a recent update. I'm not sure what information would be useful in a situation like this, but I can provide the following:
My usual Premiere set-up:
Capture format is HDV
Then I usually set my sequence presets to HDV 1080p30
From there, I have Premiere maximized and drag a video file from a folder to the project window. I wait until it indicates that the file has been imported completely, then I go about hacking the video and audio (which is usually mixed together from PlayClaw 5) and creating my own videos.
You can see in this video, the sound is synced perfectly - but a couple weeks later, I made this video, and the audio is off by just a bit, but it's noticable. Now all my imported videos have out-of-sync audio.
I can also provide the type of encoding that PlayClaw 5 uses for the videos:
Video Compression: MJPEG (quality at 95 with the option of YUV411 compression, was on for the second video link)
Capture frame rate: 29.970
Compression threads: 2
Smooth frame flow enabled
draw cursor enabled
Convert to sterio enabled
Mix audio in one track enabled
Container: AVI
Unfortunately, it doesn't give any other information about the audio.
Again, I'm sorry if this is just my lack of experience with video editing. Also, I apologize if this isn't a typical Premiere problem.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Edit:
I realized that I never actually included a question...
Is there something I'm doing wrong to cause the audio to go out of sync all of a sudden? And is there an easy fix for this issue?

Iphone audio imported into iMovie 11 is out of sync and sped up

When I import video from my iPhone 4S and 5 into iMovie the audio is 'sped up', i.e. everyone's voice is higher pitched and the audio is noticably out of synce after just a few seconds and then the audio runs out before the video clip stops playing. You can see this in the image where the waveform stops before the video stops.
When I import it from my AVCHD camera everything is fine.

Exactly the same here. It starts fine for about a minute and a half, but then it slips and gets progressively worse.
It's making me really mad too, because I can no longer just turn on iSight and record. I have all the latest updates, in fact I just did the main system update today as well.

Phonebook, Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud always out of sync

I have a very strange problem regarding syncing. Basically, the contacts in my phonebook on my Droid Razr HD, are never in sync with Backup Assistant Plus and the Cloud. My understanding was that if I edit, add or delete a phonebook entry, it would be backed up and kept in sync with Verizon Cloud, which I subscribe to. But that never happens. Entries are in the Cloud, but never in sync with my phonebook. And when I click on a contact in the Cloud, it is always empty. It is though all 3 entities are stand alone products which remain out of communication and out of sync with each other.
Backups take place at schedule intervals, and rarely fail. Yet nothing seems to happen. Reading other posts about the issues people have with syncing, it is clear to me that sync is the problem child of Verizon, and few if any CSRs seem to understand it. If you talk to 5 CSRs, you will get 5 different explanations of how it is supposed to work, and the customer is caught in the middle. I've tried all the usual steps, including Sync All, Sync Now,
In People-->Settings-->Contact Storage-->Contact Storage Accont, the only options available are Backup Assistant Plus (which I've selected) and Google (unselected). Cloud is not even an option and seems to work in a standalone mode. I don't even know why BAP is offered, when Cloud is being used. I thought Cloud was the replacement for BAP? The whole thing is a bit of a mess, honestly, and needs to be re-engineered from top to bottom. In the meantime, would anyone know how I can get these products to work as they should?

Ann154 is correct, use gMail.
The Verizon cloud is not acceptable or functional.    I went through the set up with Verizon and was not able to get backup assist and cloud to do it's job.
I just switched carrier, and from Android, to iPhone, back to android.   The only way to get it all together was to use gmail (which I did not have, but opened free, just for this purpose.)

Azure Pack PLAN status always Out of sync

I got the issue in my lab, The PLAN's status shows Out-of-sync after apply sync action in Azure Pack. So the tenants cannot create Virtual Network & VM. Thank you for your help!!
screenshot below:
Admin site:
Tenant site:

Can you make sure that VMM, SPF and WAP are on the same Update Rollup level?
If you have recently installed WAP, then UR3 may be present there, and it is important that you install UR3 for VMM management server and VMM console (which is also on the SPF server).
Currently, we have only UR2 for SPF, which must be installed too.
For troubleshooting, you can check the ManagementODataService log on your SPF server as well as the dedicated WAP logs on each WAP component.

Always out of sync

Hello all,
Just trialing the captivate software to create html help
files but im consistently seeing text boxes pop up out of sync.
to see what i mean i created a very short demo
http://www.jobsinswindon.com/help/test.htm
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Mike

You are doing a few things (wrong) that are common to many
new users, Mike. Don't dispair, let's work on a few of them.
1) You have created the "test" movie as a 1280x998 monster. I
know of no one who runs a display large enough to see your mvoie
without (at least) vertical scrolling (keep in mind I'm in Iowa USA
and we just got telephones last week, so full-wall monitors are
pretty rare here). Make your movies of a size that compliments your
end-users screens.
1a) In the absence of other criteria, make 740x520 a
"standard" size for your movies. Most monitors today run at 800x600
or (more likely) 1024x768 pixels. But keep in mind that the
"chrome" on the end-user's browser is going to require some major
real estate for itself, so allow for that.
2) The "out of sync" issue can be fixed by taking more time
between "clicks" during the recording process, OR by taking your
background captures by pressing the "PrtScr" keyboard key instead
of relying solely on the "automatic" featuresof Captivate. What's
happening is that you are clicking here and there rapidly, and the
screen shot is being taken (and the text-caption added) before the
web-based target background-change has had a chance to fully
"render" to your PCs video system.
2a) This just requires some practice to get a feel for the
time it takes to fully render screen changes, and - often - it will
help is you supplement the auto-capture feature with the pressing
of "PrtScr" to be sure you capture all the background changes you
intended for the movie.
2b) Watch the Captivate icon in the System Tray - it will
flash 'red" each time a screen-shot is captured. If you don't see
the red flash, press the PrtScr key to force a capture. It is
easier to delete the shots you don't need than it is to later add
the ones you missed by moving and clicking too fast during the
recording phase.
G'day!

Audio out of sync after import.

Hello. I've been doing some game recordings with Nvidia's new ShadowPlay. The recording says it is done in "1080p @ 60 FPS with H.264". The recorder outputs into a .mp4 file. When I watch the raw footage, it is all properly synced. However, when I import it into Premiere, it is always out of sync without fail. I know very very little about the program, and have been trying to learn as I go, but I can't seem to figure out how to re-sync it. For now I've been having to cut the sound into parts and adjust the rates manually to get it to sync back up, but this is insanely tedious.
If I can give any more information, just ask for it.

I'm not entirely sure what all of these are, sorry. Source monitor is desynced. The default window in the top right corner where the clip is displayed is de-synced. Output is de-synced. I notice that the Video & audio are the same link in the timeline, but the audio cuts out early. I tried cutting out the blank audio and using the rate stretch tool, and that didn't help (not even sure if that's the right tool). I also noticed that the video in the timeline is longer than the original. I've managed to sync the start and ending using the rate stretch tool, but the middle parts are always still de-synced. It's driving me nuts.
Hi Sylfaen1,
In my experience, whenever anyone captures game play there is usually some framerate anomaly in the exporting process of the host application. You say your footage is 60fps and is .mp4, I would verify that. Right-click (or control click on Mac) and choose "Properties." See if your frame rate is indeed 60fps. If it is another frame rate, or is variable, you might have sync problems in Premiere Pro.
If that is the case, you will have to transcode the video to another format with a standard frame rate. You can use Adobe Media Encoder to do that.
Thanks,
Kevin

HD Clips ALWAYS need rendering when imported??

I am shooting 1280x720 30fps HD on a SANYO Xacti camera. They are shot in mP4 format. I believe I need to convert them PRIOR to importing them into FC Studio. Any suggestions on settings using Compressor?? Or what settings in FCP?? I can preview the clips from the card by selecting the icon and pressing the space bar. Plays beautifully. However, when I import them into FCP I drag them to the timeline and the audio is RED and needs rendering. No biggy. However, when I add camera two footage BOTH audio and video are RED. 5 HOURS!! to render before editing. HELP! I am shooting using H.264 - my FCP settings are Apple ProRes 422 1280x720 30fps 48kHz. and H.264

Your footage is H.264...A non-native editing codec with FCP. This won't work without rendering as your sequence settings differ from your footage. Either convert to ProRes before editing (highly preferred), or make custom settings with H.264 (possible, but not the best way to go).

Rented movie sound out of sync in windows 8

I rented a film from the iTunes store but the sound is out of sync and gets worse as the film continues. It's a brand new laptop, running windows 8. I had this problem on my previous laptop. It seems that there are a lot of people with similar issues. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Gary

The frame rates don't match. The sequence is 29.97 and the clips are 30 fps. I can't seem to find anyplace in the preferences where I can set frame rates. Am I stuck with this.
As for the codecs, how do I check these? Most of the clips I'm using I've downloaded from YouTube.
Thanks for such a prompt response.

HELP! Imported audio files now randomly out of sync!

I cut a short film a while ago. It was shot on HDV. I used some in-camera audio (from the HDV tapes) but also, some audio files from my sound mixer, which I originally imported as WAV files and manually sunc them up. Everything was fine.
Later, I outgrew the original media drive and upgraded, copying all of my media to the new drive. When I did that, I noticed that all of the camera audio was fine, but all of the audio that had been imported from those WAV files was randomly out of sync -- meaning that some files were 1 sec early, some 16 frames late, etc.
When I broke the link and re-linked to the original drive, all was fine again. Now, however, doing that makes those original files out of sync also.
When I relink these files now, FCP ALWAYS finds a discrepency with them: They supposedly have a different "Media Start and End" and "Rate." Apparently, that's why they're being offset, but they're the EXACT same files that I started with, so what's up?!??
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. They represent A LOT of work to fix one by one.

This is what it says under FORMAT: 24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
Incidentally, this is EXACTLY the same for both the files on the original drive (that play perfectly in sync) and the copied ones that are out of sync.
I realize that FCP likes AIFFs, but WAVs is what my sound guy gave me.
Any other ideas?

Video's audio out of Sync once imported to Encore CS6

Hello Everyone,
I'm having some issues with Encore CS6 on my iMac running OS X 10.9.5.
I'm trying to burn some video that i've captured off of VHS using Elgato Video Capture. It outouts the files as .mp4
The videos play fine outside, but as soon as I import them into Encore the audio becomes out of sync. I've burned many VHS to DVD's and for some reason the problem seems to be recent. There out of sync in the timeline, preview, and once burned.
I even tried using Adobe media encoder to convert the .mp4 to MPEG-2 outside of Encore and the audio was still out of sync. I even tried cutting a bit of the audio off at the front because it seem to be just a little slower, and it worked for the first 5 minutes then it became un-synced again.
Does anyone have any idea's as to whats going on? Or has experienced this problem?
Thanks,
Angela

Hi Stan,
Unfortunately it wouldn't let me selected the tree view. I did find a text view that has way more information. As for the length of the Audio and Video lengths there both 1h 23mn.
And below is for the MPEG-2
Thanks for all your help!

Sound goes out of sync after pausing video

Hi everyone,
Got a 1 month old Apple TV which is working just great with videos bought off the store... However I've run into a really annoying problem when watching videos that I've encoded myself. They will all play just fine, from beginning to end - unless I pause them. When the videos are un-paused the sound is badly out of sync, and no amount of pausing/unpausing stopping/starting will get it back in sync again. Best I can do is restart from the beginning and fast forward to the same spot and this usually results in a better sync - but not perfect. This happens with both SD and HD encoded video. They are playing off the internal drive having been synced over from my itunes library.
My Apple TV is on 3.0.1 firmware and I'm running iTunes on a Windows 7 laptop. I've been using "Any Video Converter Pro" (http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video/)to re-encode my videos as I don't know much about the subject and it has an AppleTV option which makes it really easy...
Here's the settings used for a typical video file: 1280x720 resolution with a 3500kbs bit-rate at 25fps, audio bit-rate of 128kbs with a 44100 sample rate. 2 channels.
Would be grateful for any ideas on what's going wrong here as this is really spoiling my enjoyment of the apple tv.
Cheers,
Steve

Sounds like the encoder software causing issues.
When I encode on the Mac from my Camcorder to itunes/ATV I use HandBrake with good results - there is linux and Windoze versions versions available.
It has a preset for ATV as the destination which saves the hassle of tweaking the settings to start with....
It's been around sometime and was fantastic help when I went from Windoze to Mac a few years ago, and I wanted to re-encode all those files I had still in raw DV format from the camera.

Sound import to 25 fps sequence is always out of sync and need rendering!!!
